  <TR valign="top">
     <TD>SMFIS_ALL_OPTS</TD>
     <TD>
If a milter just wants to inspect the available protocol steps
and actions, then it can return
SMFIS_ALL_OPTS
and the MTA will make all protocol steps and actions available
to the milter.
In this case, no values should be assigned to the output parameters
<CODE>pf0</CODE> - <CODE>pf3</CODE>
as they will be ignored.

	In this case the milter <EM>must</EM> set all output parameters

<!----------- Notes ---------->
<TR>
<TH valign="top" align=left>NOTES</TH>
<TD>This function allows a milter to dynamically determine and
request operations and actions during startup.
In previous versions, the actions (f0) were fixed in the
<A HREF="smfi_register.html#flags">flags</A> field of the
<A HREF="smfi_register.html#smfiDesc">smfiDesc</A>
structure
and the protocol steps (f1) were implicitly derived by checking whether
a callback was defined.
Due to the extensions in the new milter version,
such a static selection will not work if a milter requires
new actions that are not available when talking to an older MTA.
Hence in the negotiation callback a milter can determine
which operations are available and dynamically select
those which it needs and which are offered.
If some operations are not available, the milter may either fall back
to an older mode or abort the session and ask the user to upgrade.

The protocol steps are defined in
<CODE>include/libmilter/mfdef.h</CODE>:

<LI><A NAME="SMFIP_RCPT_REJ"><CODE>SMFIP_RCPT_REJ</CODE></A>:
By setting this bit, a milter can request that the
MTA should also send <CODE>RCPT</CODE> commands that have been rejected
because the user is unknown (or similar reasons), but not those
which have been rejected because of syntax errors etc.
<!--
In order for this request to have effect,
sendmail must have been built with the compile time option
<TT>_FFR_MILTER_CHECK_REJECTIONS_TOO</TT>.
-->
If a milter requests this protocol step,
then it should check the macro
<CODE>{rcpt_mailer}</CODE>:
if that is set to
<CODE>error</CODE>,
then the recipient will be rejected by the MTA.
Usually the macros
<CODE>{rcpt_host}</CODE> and <CODE>{rcpt_addr}</CODE>
will contain an enhanced status code and an error text
in that case, respectively.
